Disabling KGet in KDE 3.2

Is there a way to disable KGET ? I have it since version 3.1.2 but it started acting up and I have problems downloading files.

I think if it can be disabled it would solve my problem.

I am getting Could not write to filename.part every time I download a file so I must always open files instead of downloading or saving them.

open the file ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc
delete the following line:
DownloadManager=kget

That will disable kget. However, your error message seem to imply that kget is unable to write to the file. lack of disk space or something?

It can't be lack of disk space since I have over 20 gigs free on that partition...

I've had the same problem. Maybe KGet is not closing file descriptors and eventually hits a quota limit or something? For me the problem shows itself by KGet, after having downloaded some files, getting stuck on the same file that it downloads over and over again. The workaround is the reboot.
I just updated to KDE 3.2 and KGet got worse. Now it disappears from the system tray after partially downloading the first few few of a bag of files and obviously downloading stops.
My system system is SuSE9+kernel2.6.1 with KDE3.2 from SuSE's website.
Thank you for the hint on how to disable KGet. I'll do that to hopefully get rid of the annoying popup about KGet not responding every time I reboot.

i have problems with kget also. mine are different though. i occasionally get the issue where kget quits while downloading multiple files, but my main issue with kget is that for some reason, it starts taking up 99% of my cpu and i have to manually restart it.

I found that Kget 3.2 will only download one file, then crash. You
cannot delete any of the files until you restart Kget.
